On July 17, 2003, a fire damaged the house. It is now owned by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. They planned to use the property for the New Jersey Route 18 bridge to cross the Raritan River from New Brunswick, New Jersey to Piscataway, New Jersey. In 1977 the state of New Jersey purchased the property. John sold some of the land and in 1955 sold the house and the remaining 0.73 acres (3,000 m 2) to John P. In 1914 John Metler inherited the property. Metlar's son John moved to the home with his wife in 1904 and shared it with the Mason. He used it to house his property manager, John Mason. In the 1890s, the house was owned by George Metlar, of New Brunswick, New Jersey. In 1853 Samuel Knapp purchased the house and 220 acres (0.89 km 2) of the property, and he may have added a second addition to the house around 1870. In 1840, William Phillips was the owner and he added an addition to the house. Isaac Lawrence bought the house from French in 1814. After Lane's death in 1761 this widow, Margaret lived in the house, but in 1780 she sold the property to William French, the son of a sea captain. In 1733 he sold his house to Hendrick Lane (?-1761). In 1728 Peter Bodine, who owned a storehouse, built a two-story house near the Raritan River. In the early 1700s, Raritan Landing, New Jersey had 70 homes belonging to Dutch merchants. It is estimated that the wall's restoration and an addition to the Metlar–Bodine House will cost close to $1 million. The wall must be restored and relocated to a facility that is climate controlled and protected. The building was destroyed in the 1960s but because of its significance, a parlor wall was saved and was exhibited at the New Jersey Historical Society until it was given to the Township and the Metlar–Bodine House in 2000.Ĭurrently, the parlor wall is dismantled and stored in a large warehouse owned by Piscataway Township. They were then given an extra ration of rum and that evening the General had a party for officers (including Alexander Hamilton, the Marquis de Lafayette and Baron Von Stuben) and their ladies at Ross Hall. The troops were ordered to march across the river on Landing Lane Bridge, line the banks of the Raritan in New Brunswick, and shoot their rifles down and up the line in the first organized salute to the nation's independence. It was there that General Washington wrote the first order for the United States Army to celebrate the 4th of July – a tradition that continues to this day.
In July 1778, George Washington headquarters were at Ross Hall and his 11,000 patriots camped along the Raritan River in Piscataway. The Metlar–Bodine House's "Red, White, and Boom" Madeira wine tasting event on July 6, 2014, kicked off its campaign to raise money to build a new educational wing to house the historically significant Ross Hall Wall.
The museum has undergone major renovations over the past decade and, as of Summer 2014, is once again open to the public. The Metlar House, also known as the Knapp House, the Bodine House, or the Metlar–Bodine House, is an historic house, now museum, located along River Road in Piscataway, New Jersey.
